The comment came when Woods and Mickelson were on the ninth hole, Golf.com reported. Barkley also joked he could beat the two golf legends.

“Y’all know that. I could beat these two guys today,” Barkley said.

Barkley’s comments prompted a response from MLB pitcher Justin Verlander who challenged the former NBA star.

“Barkley saying it’s not good golf,” Verlander tweeted. “I wanna see Tiger and Phil throw down a challenge bet at him. 100K for double bogey or better on #1. C’mon Charles, I know you got your sticks with you.”
